[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix flow descriptor allocation in Direct Verbs mode.

[Gregory Etelson <getelson@nvidia.com>]

Initialize flow descriptor tunnel member during flow creation.
Prevent access to stale data and pointers when flow descriptor is
reallocated after relase.

Fixes: 8bb81f2649b1 ("net/mlx5: use thread specific flow workspace")
